ADVANCED COMPOSITES IN EUROPEAN AIRCRAFT PRESENT AND FUTURE:

INTO THE NEW MILLENNIUM

As we enter the third Millennium, aerospace and advanced composites remain challenging, knowledge-based industries. TRC's newly revised analysis covers present and future European programs by country and company - over one hundred firms (ca. 1500 programs) in 600+ illustrated pages illuminating actual aircraft composites content. Both status report and prognosis, it creates a "Big Picture" - of business, technology and markets. Covered are European aircraft and firms, including the new A340 series, A380, Eurofighter, A400M, the evolving tiltrotor programs, etc. It stresses business potential, strengths and weaknesses, lessons learned, trends and future developments.

In generating new perspective, this report will stimulate your own thinking and promote reflection. It is especially valued by top managers charged with program oversight. Market estimates are provided - both for composite structures and materials. Not just the large and high profile, but also new or emerging products with creative solutions.
